Friedman Industries, IncorporatedFRD
Materials

Processes metal coil into sheet, plate and slit coil, and makes and distributes welded pipe. The business pairs its flat-roll and tubular products segments with a U.S. processing and distribution network.

Processes metal coil into sheet, plate and slit coil through its flat-roll products segment, while its tubular products segment manufactures electric-resistance-welded pipe and distributes pipe through Texas Tubular Products. The work spans processing, distribution and pipe production for steel-product makers and steel and pipe distributors.

Operations are concentrated in the United States, with coil-processing sites across multiple states and Florida operations expanded by Century Metals. Temper-mill, cut-to-length, stretcher-leveler, corrective-leveling and slitting capabilities shape the flat-roll network. Demand for processed coil, pipe and related distribution services, together with utilization of geographically distributed processing equipment, shapes the business.
